Curtis A. Williams

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to Curtis A. Williams (34426925), Private First Class, U.S. Army, for gallantry in action while serving as a Medical Aidman with the 1st Infantry Division. Despite heavy enemy tank and artillery fire, Private First Class Williams left a place of cover and crept to the aid of a severely wounded man. He then proceeded to the rear, obtained a vehicle, and, although inexperienced as a driver, drove the wounded soldier to an aid station.
